McCrossan: Time to deliver the A5

SDLP West Tyrone MLA Daniel McCrossan has welcomed news from the Department of Infrastructure that the A5 project will undergo further construction in early 2018. Mr McCrossan said there can be no more delays on this critical infrastructure project.

He said:

“People in the west have been waiting for far too long on the A5 development. Promise after promise has been broken and people here are now highly cynical of the entire scheme.

“But this remains one of the most critical infrastructure projects on the island. We know that investment is dependent on transport infrastructure, a highly skilled workforce and soft infrastructure development. The best way to attract new jobs west of the Bann, where they’re most needed, is to build roads to bring them here.

“I want to welcome today’s news from the Department of Infrastructure. I will be scrutinising the process extremely closely. People here cannot be let down again.”
